About Touhill

Touhill Ticket Donation

The Touhill is happy to support community charitable efforts whenever possible. We have a limited number of tickets available for donation in any given month. Typically requests will be held until about six weeks out from a charitable event. At that time a notice will be sent as to whether or not a donation can be made. The typical donation is for two tickets to an event at the Touhill happening within the two months following the charitable event.

Because we receive hundreds of donation requests each season, we have established guidelines to determine which requests will be considered and which requests have priority. The Touhill will only consider requests for charitable organizations that support artistic organizations, direct arts education, are based in North County, and requests made directly by members of the UMSL campus community.

Priority for donations will be:
1. Personal requests from the UMSL campus community (faculty, staff, students, volunteers) on behalf of a charitable organization
2. Programs that directly encourage and support arts education
3. Programs that support artistic programs and organizations
4. Other requests from North County based charities
